Bucs, Talib working through differences

We told you yesterday that the Bucs and Aqib Talib's agent were deadlocked in the first-round pick's contract negotiations.

That has since changed, and the sides have re-opened talks aimed at getting the No. 20 overall pick to camp in time for Friday afternoon's reporting deadline.

Second-round pick Dexter Jackson is still unsigned as is fifth-rounder Josh Johnson. The expectation is that Johnson's deal will get wrapped up by Friday. The outlook for Jackson is less clear.

Stay tuned throughout the day on Friday for updates on these and a host of other matters as players report in Celebration.
